Hi there I see all the postings and the "how to" on cake balls...I was wondering if anyone has ever made them out of brownies? I saw them done on a website, and I have a bride that is interested in me making them.....Since I haven't even made cake balls...only cakes, would love any suggestions, tips, etc...thanks so much!!!

You can use pretty much any cake or cake like product you'd like.

ive done it. And when I made them, they were moist enough not to use a binder!

I've never made cake balls, I only use brownies. I found the best way was to put the cooled brownies in the food processor and pulverize to crumbs. There can be some lumps, that's fine. As -Sweetheart- said, you won't need a binder; just squish them into shape. I've also made the Santa hats & Christmas trees from Bakerella's website using brownies.

I did these for a bridal shower.

All a brownie is, is a choc cake without the leavener.

thanks everyone...was most wondering about the binder....I am going to try and do a batch this weekend, and see....Barbarana....those are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! LOve the boxes too...I am sure way time consuming, but SOOOO lovely!! Thanks to all for the help!!!

I do mostly all brownie balls, with a few oreo balls thrown in. I don't like the texture of the cake balls with the binder so the brownies work out perfect.

Sooo Yummy!

Do you use a binder for the oreo balls or is the cream inside of them enough? Mmmmm...sounds good!

Barbaranne how did you coat them so perfectly? Mine always come out somewhat messy.

Thanks,

a package of cream cheese is a great binder for the oreo cookie balls.

For the oreo balls I add some cream cheese, but only a little. I just add a Tbsp. or two at a time until the mixture just starts to stick together( I make the mixture in my food processor). However, the brownies are still my fave because if it's a fudgy brownie you don't anything to bind it together.
